I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they dyed it because when he came home after theyhad changed the color, he asked his daughter what she thought and she just told him he was weird (don't remember where I read that story though...)

This is my first post on Peter and I just wanted to say that I love him as Carlisle he was so great. He plays the hot, old, daddy vampire very well! When he first came on screen I was like oh my! He is hot! (I was waiting for that moment because well Carlisle rocks and I wasn't disappointed. Expcept for he is so pale compared to the others! But then I thought about it and I guess since he's supposed to be over 300 years old it kind of makes sense he'd be so pale what w/no blood runing through those veins for that long.) Man he was just awesome. And he seems like such a nice down to earth guy in all the interview I've seen and read. I can't wait to see him in NM, especially during THE VOTE.
